The #50Power# Initiative by Amer Mayen Dhieu
Amer Mayen Dhieu, Brisbane, Australia
July 2017 (SSB) —- My name is Amer Mayen Dhieu, A South Sudanese-Australian residing in Australia. Growing up in three different countries has been a marvelous experience that has helped me to acquire a new purpose in life.
My daily inspirations are my mother and myself and my personal life’s goal is to grow wiser and help share the knowledge with those in need.
I have deep passion for girls’ education and I have involved myself advocating for it. My biggest achievement so far is finding my voice and confident to stand strong in the face of all odds.
I am keen to share this with most, if not all, young women out there to help shape the future for upcoming generations of women.
October 11th is international Girls’ Child Day
I usually celebrate it in my own way. But this year I have decided to launch a campaign to help promote women empowerment through education under the theme “#50power#
The goal of my campaign is to raise one thousand dollar ($1000) to help my chosen charity provide educational opportunity for two girls living in Kakuma Refugee camp in Kenya.
The slogan of my campaign is #educate#inform#empower#
My campaign Hashtag is #Amer@50power#
To help reach my goal, I am looking for ten people or more to sponsor me. All the donation goes to educating girl children in Kenya.
My chosen charity is Twic East Girls Scholarship Program with which I am a volunteer.
Their mission is to empower women through education. They do this by providing a scholarship to girl children who are at risk of early child marriages, early school dropout and forced marriages in Africa.
To sponsor me, please send me a message on my Facebook inbox for more info on how to donate or send an email to twiceastgirlsscholarship@yahoo.com.au under the subject Amer@#59power#
You can donate as little as $5.
